Energy producer and supplier Energie Baden-Württemberg (EnBW) has secured the winning bids for seven solar parks in an open-field photovoltaic (PV) solar auction by the German Federal Network Agency.  

Five solar parks will be constructed in Baden-Württemberg, a state in south-west Germany. The sites will be in Langenburg, Mulfingen, Adelsheim, Geislingen-Erlaheim and Sigmaringen-Gutenstein.

Bids were also accepted for one solar park in Lauenhagen in the northern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and another project in Görlsdorf, Brandenburg, a town that borders Poland.  

The seven projects will have a total output of 184MW. 

EnBW head of renewable energies Harald Schmoch commented: “Despite the high demand, we were able to secure all the targeted areas with our bids – even though the tender was almost twice oversubscribed. This is a positive sign for the continued expansion of solar power generation at EnBW and will help us to continue to drive the energy transition.”

In addition to subsidised sites, such as those secured in the current auction process, EnBW also develops solar park projects without state funding. 

One example is the company’s solar asset in Baden-Württemberg, the largest solar park in the region, which is currently under construction. The project is scheduled to be operational by 2025 and have an installed output of 80MW. 

EnBW plans to invest €40bn ($44bn) in the energy transition by 2030, with approximately 90% earmarked for Germany. 

In July, the company commenced construction on its 72MW solar/wind hybrid energy park in Gundelsheim, which will feature 110,000 solar modules and have an installed output of 60.5MW. 

The German Government aims to install 215GW of solar capacity by 2030. Power Technology’s parent company, GlobalData, forecasts that the German solar PV market will achieve a compound annual growth rate of more than 13% by 2035.
